08-9-2008 - Still spotting (one week)

My mood while writing this blog:
scared

I just finished checking what's going on down there.... and I'm still spotting. Not a lot but everyday it's been the same (some days less and some days a little more). I don't know what to think anymore and really scared about losing this one! I know it's still too early and if nothing developed then of course it needs to be taken care of. I'm just concerned bc if that's the case I don't know when I will ever get to start ttc again!!! =(

I'm really trying to stay optimistic, but it's difficult with the web at my finger tips and reading up on blighted ovums, ectopic pregnancies, and missed miscarriages it is all so depressing!!! I know I shouldn't keep reading all those blogs and articles but I just want my spotting to CEASE!! I read that implantation should only last one day... if that's the case then I HOPE it's only old blood... but come on now!!! It's been a week! Do I have that much old blood to expel???

I'm going to be a pain in the ass and call my obgyn and tell them that I am still seeing brownish cm when I wipe (very little on pantyliner) and see what she says! I know I go in next Monday, but that's just too far away right now! =( I know I should just let time run it's course, but I just don't know how to! I can't stay focused on anything right about now and I have sooooo much to do! Hopefully my doctor will make me go in for another blood test sooner! LOL It's still too early for an u/s and I'm thinking it might still be too early next week as well! ?????

Thanks ladies for listening!!!

aww dear i can understand all the mixed thoughts that might be running across your mind. But all i wanna say to you is dont stress yourself out soo much.. I think speaking to your Obgyn would be a good thing. Try and get them to test you more sooner rather than waiting until next monday.We are all praying for you and your lil bean... Hopefully all wil be well...

its normal to be nervous!! Keep your head up!

I can understand you being worried. I hope the doctor can tell you everything's OK. I've heard that some spotting like that is OK and does not necessarily mean anything's wrong.

I know its easier said than done about trying not to worry, but like I said, I spotted for 16 weeks, and YEs I was at my gyno's every other day so sure I misscarried!!! But he reassured me. If I were you, go see your doc and get peace of mind! Who cares what she thinks about you being paranoid. At least you will be at ease!!!!

I truly understand your worries and I agree, be annoying to your doctor - do anything that will help calm you. Once we have experienced a loss it is so hard to stay calm. We are so much more educated about everything that can possibly go wrong. Not just what went wrong with us, but also what has gone wrong with everyone else. I wish we could just be blissful ignorant again, but unfortunately it doesn't work that way. I hope and pray everything will go perfectly with this pregnancy and that the spotting you are experiencing is all normal. I spotted with my first (about weekly from week 6-11) and everything went perfect. With my second I had no spotting in first trimester yet ended up loosing her at 19 weeks. We simply never know. I hope your doctor will be able to give you the best care and calm you.

Hugs,
Karin

I don't blame you, you need to know what's going on now not in a few days. Just demand another blood test, say that the stress is not good for you or the baby and you need a definite answer. It only takes a few seconds for them to do the blood test doesn't it. My thoughts are with you anyway but I do believe if it was a miscarriage the bleeding would have got much heavier by now. I spotted and then bled properly a day later first time and 2 days later 2nd time. Things with you still sound good to me xx

If you don't feel any cramping or unusal feelings -I wouldn't be too worried. My girlfriend had a healthy baby boy a couple years ago -spotted for more than a month -no reason why.
I spotted for almost a week this time. The uterus is so vascular and the baby is invaiding the lining slowly -the placenta is forming. Don't forget about all the things that have to attach. Worrying is pointless -this baby will prove to be strong and keep your thoughts on the positive side -Im living proof that it works.

you have every right to worry and call. When i was pregnant the last time i took the test and it came up BFP i was so excited. I started spotting right away. but i thought nothing of it. sometimes you spot. i wasn't cramping or anything. Then a whole week went by and i asked for an appointment. they took my levels and told me to take them again in 2 days. i did. They didn't double so they did an US there was nothing in my uterus. it wasn't till after the apt. that i started cramping. You seriously just never know. didn't tell you that to scare you but to get u to call the dr. Its worth being annoying. its not like you see them everyday so for the sake of your little bean. who cares. be annoying.
